Why Job Performance Reviews Are Going to Get Social [INFOGRAPHIC]

Annual performance reviews: you either love 'em or hate 'em. Some companies get the formula right, developing a constructive review process that helps employees grow — to these employers, we say, "kudos."

On the other side of the coin, though, there are many companies that simply miss the mark, creating repetitive review processes that seem to only serve as time-wasting disciplinary tools.

In the past decade, we've seen performance reviews move to the online space, making it easier for employees and employers to complete and share them.

While we've come a long way, performance reviews are still the bane of many employees — 78% of U.S. workers would like to change some aspect of the review process, according to one 2009 study.

The infographic below, compiled by the creators of social goal management tool WorkSimple, looks at the brief history of performance reviews and predicts a future where reviews go social.
